this is a nightmare scenario when it comes to syria unraveling and the syrian civil war there. that's why there has been so much concern these past several months. that's why the u.s. and countries like israel have kept such a watchful eye with regard to their intelligence services on these chemical weapon stockpiles. if they detected any type of movement, they reported that. they've been warning the syrian regime many times that if they were to do anything with these weapons that that would be a red line. it's not clear exactly what that red line would mean but it is a concern. now, you have seen in the past few days, you have seen the turkeys request of nato to deploy patriot missiles on their border with syria. that's been approved. those missiles will arrive within the next few weeks according to nato along with troops with those patriot missiles. that's to bolster turkey's air system because of the spillover. there's been concern about syrian spillover into lebanon and that's without talking about chemical weapons. when you put chemical weapons factor into it, it makes it
